    Leicester might have helped us tonight now. Southampton are screwed for an auto, they’ll be resting players against us, they won’t send the entire first team on a long journey risking injury before the playoffs.

    Championship won’t be nearly as strong next season. No way Sheffield Burnley and Luton will be gathering 90 points so we’ll have a great chance if we don’t go up this time

    True Eire. I hope Hull win tonight because they will still have a slight chance of making the playoffs, then when they play Ipswich they'll be up for it. I still think we are good enough to win the playoffs, if we don't make it automatically.<ok>

    Well if the players aren't up for this match, then we deserve to play in the playoffs. Whatever happens I still think its been a very good season. The galling thing was the two defeats recenrly, when a draw in each would have given us a three point lead over Ipswich and we had the better goal difference, so even them winning their game in hand, they'd still be below us. Anyway it wasn't to be. Roll on the Hoops.<ok>

    I’m just worrying about our results, if we win our last three, (now 2) Ipswich need to do the same, if they do they’ll deserve an auto. What I don’t want is Ipswich not having to win because we hand it on a plate. If I’m a neutral I’m saying it’s highly unlikely they’ll come away with consecutive away wins. They have a 50% win rate away from home.

    We have the best attacking lineup in the division, if we don’t go up, Farke has failed when you consider what he has at his disposal.

    Next season, deduct the goals and chances of Gnonto and Summerville, remove the consistency of Ampadu and Rodon, next season we won’t be getting 90 points either

    Was thinking the same. If we win last two, a tough ask, then Ipswich will need to win all three, an even tougher ask. Have a feeling both teams will drop further points though especially with our new crap defence
    Edit, Ive repeated your post. Ive an excuse, little sleep last night <laugh>

    We need Huddersfield to still be in with a chance of staying up too on the final day. Ipswich fans will be taking it for granted they’ll get a win on the final day, I’m not so sure if there is a fight to stay up

    I don't do predictions normally but how about last game we need to beat Southampton for promotion. Were scoreless with ten minutes to go while Ipswich lead 1-0. Were checking our phones for last ten minutes needing a goal either from Huddersfield when Bang ........................

    This has been my point for a long time mate, we have the best players but Farke isn't getting the best out of them.

    When you think, it’s a 3 horse race, the other two in the race we’ve taken maximum points from them, 12 points.

    The top 3 table between each other

    Leeds 12 points
    Leicester 2 points
    Ipswich 2 points

    If we beat QPR and Ipswich manage 4 points, we’ll only need a draw unless they overturn a 10 goal difference. The QPR win is vital, the pressure that would put on Ipswich would be immense

    A lot of the good decisions have been fortunate too. Ampadu said he prefers to play CB yet we played him in the middle, Kamara and Gruev getting zero game time.

    It was only the injury to Struijk which meant the change, same as Gray at RB giving Gruev his opportunity.

    Piroe played at 10 and Rutter 9 until Bamford returned then suddenly despite his lengthy interview why Rutter (was 9 and not 10) he’s suddenly a 10

    If we don’t go up, we need to stick with Farke as I think change will be too disrupting. I’ve seen enough of him to fear what he’ll be like in the PL

    It’s a shame as we should be shouting joy from the rafters with our points haul, it’s an abnormal season but there is no reason really why we shouldn’t be on our points total with these players, it’s probably Ipswich who deserve it most
